Choosing the Right Dating Site

john waltzer | 22.09.2006 05:07 | Social Struggles

Internet is a big market place for online dating sites where people search for a dating partner. Very few realise that not all sites have an ethical practice and end up misleading the innocent surfer. Here are some tips that guide you how to choose a datin site.

It is always wise to get to know which online adult dating sites are trustworthy and which one mislead you. Remember you are on an important mission to find some one who is going to change your life, hence be careful, and do your home work carefully. The Internet is full of competition in the online dating marketplace, there is plenty of room for sites to mislead you, exploit you, and even put you into financial crisis.

How sites mislead:

Create fake profiles of adult personals and make you believe that some one incredible wants to know you thus luring you into subscribing to their site. This is highly unethical practice but to out bid competition some adult friend finder sites will do anything.

Some dating sites will trade your personal data including your email with others. Some sites write in fine print that they can sell or distribute data to whomsoever they wish. This condition you may not read while signing and then you start getting lots spam, junk mail and even viruses turning your online experience into a disaster. Good site will only send you alerts when a member wishes to contact you.

There sex dating sites with explicit porn contents of-girls, women, adults-you may not wish to be a member. If you wish to look for sex dating or sites focused on alternate sex dating like a gay dating personals or a lesbian dating personals only than you should join them as member.

Some dating sites will extract maximum analytical information from you on one pretext or the other. This they do by pulling a fast one while you are uploading your details or photos or communication with matching profiles. Flashy pop-ups and banner ads are a major nuisance and why should you have to bear them when you are a paid member.

Do you wish to be a member of a paying site whose core focus is to be a search engine and a platform for others to use it as a market place? It should be a people search focused on online dating not a market place.
Rip off! Some sites require payment from respondents who though may be eager to reply to you but wouldn’t because this and even fear of credit card abuse. You waste time and money.

Over hyped data- don’t be impressed with companies when over hyped data is advertise regarding the success of their portal success of their online. This could be pure trash as it is difficult to keep tab on successful interactions between the members.

It may not be easily possible to be deleted from some sites, only to find that it's nearly impossible? What's worse is that they have your credit card number! Ouch!

Keep these factors in mind while going for Internet dating so that you have a wonderful experience on the Internet.
